question 1 of 15
which characteristic would you be more likely to find in a speech than in a written text, and why?

a. complex sentences to keep the language interesting
b. obvious transitions to help the audience follow the points
c. humor to keep the content from getting too serious
d. high - level language to impress the audience

Answer:

B. Obvious transitions to help the audience follow the points
